Sega
Master System "Power Base" [boxed]
I wanted this machine so much when I
was younger. The TV advert saying "Do me a Favour! Plug me into
a Sega!" was my favourite TV ad. I eventually managed to sucker
my parents into buying me one for Christmas - with no games. But
it was OK - I could play the built in game Hang On until the
cows came home. It wasn't long before I found if you hold a
certain sequence of buttons during power up (UP+1+2 if I
remember correctly) you could
access a secret maze game. Over it's life my Master System was
well played and I amassed a collection of over 40 games. But I
eventually moved onto the Mega Drive and gave my whole
collection to a boy down the street.... Oh how I wish I had kept
it now! I have since managed to get hold of the 3D glasses and
hope to own all released 3D games one day!
Sega
Master System II [boxed]
The cheaper re-modelled master system which looked more like a little kid's console than the bigger Power Base. Also you could not play your Sega Card games on this one, or use the 3D glasses! This model has Alex Kid in Miracle World built in.
Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) [boxed]
Sega's answer to knocking Nintendo off the top of the market. Nintendo was furious that Sega had released a 16-bit machine and blamed then for Rushing to market! The Sega Mega Drive brought many people closer to the arcade experience at home - and the music sounded cool too! I sold my musical keyboard to buy my first one of these!
Sega
Saturn [unboxed]
Sega again tries to jump to the next
level with it's 32-bit CD based machine - released around the
same time as the doomed 32X. This machine was initially designed
to be a 2D console with added 3D effects - but when Sega learned
of the technical specifications of the new Sony Playstation
machine they had to hastily incorporate a second CPU into the
design to make it compete. Although the graphics between
the 2 machines were similar - it was the Sony Playstation with
it much larger colour palette and superior graphical hardware
which won the day. I purchased this second hand from a trade
store and managed to get my hands on the fabled VCD add-on card
too!
Dreamcast [boxed]
I brought this from ebay. This was Sega's last attempt to compete in the gaming market. It was a good effort which really should have done a lot better than it did. The Playstation II won the day though with it's built in DVD player (a new technology at the time.) The graphics are easily as good as the Playstation II or the Gamecube and Sega also added the Visual Memory Unit to the controllers in an effort to make the machine stand out. It included a modem as standard and was capable of multiplayer games over the internet! A very understated machine which does not get the credit it deserves.
